A few micrometers-sized Fe1-xAlx (x=0.35-0.42) powders prepared by atomizing method have the B2 structure and are paramegnetic. The powder milled for several hours is magnetized and has a spontaneous magnetization as great as 100 emu/g. The milled powder particles become flakes, which are composed of lamellae expanding parallel to the (110) plane and having heavily distorted lattice. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction revealed that structures appear in very thin areas within the lamellae. These superlattices indicate the creation of large number of antiphase boundaries, which induce ferromagnetism. When the milled powder is heated at 100-400 degrees centigrade the magnetization decreases to a few tens emu/g, the lamella structures being kept.
